Some miniatures, from Mr. W. H. WATTS, are painted with admirable spirit.

A Letter frot'n the French Ambassador hi btu• nick, M. Oro, to the French Minister of State, 26th of. November, 1808, contains the follomiing passages:— " The Austrians continue to Make entrenclutentis in Carinthia; a great number of peasants are etnr ployed in the defiles of Dafehstein, Rastadt, tendarf, and Lueg. :We are here convinced, that the Court of Vienna intends to carry the plan of the new organisation of the militia into execution to ,full extent, and to derive greater 'advantages frock this this measure, than were at first expelled. But a want of principles seems Oil to prevail, and the armies are increased at the expence of agriculture and industry. The em i ssar i es w ho haVe bee n sent into ditrecept • parts of.

SEVILLE, JAN. 1.--The Supreme 'Central of Government has published the following tIRCER. " The Royal Ordinances, as far as they concein the army, have not enacted any ponSliment to be inflicted on Officers who .:nher desert their colours, or abandon their posts, because it was,not suppotcl that men who bore sadh honovirable coirmiissions, would be cvable of canimitting a crime so base and altogether unpardonable i n th ose w h o ough t to set to the common soldiers the exitinplo' 'of fidelity, con stancy, .ind valour.
